Federal authorities are responding to a shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, a small community southeast of San Antonio.
In a press conference Sunday night, an official from the Texas Department of Public Safety described the scene: Around 11:20 am, the suspect, dressed in black, approached the church and began firing an assault rifle. He then entered the church and continued firing.
Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed that at least 26 people were killed. A Texas Department of Public Safety official said the ages of the victims ranged from 5 to 72 years old. The AP reports that the pastor's 14-year-old daughter is among the dead.
The Department of Public Safety confirmed to NPR that at least 20 others were wounded. A DPS official said in the press conference that the gunman was confronted by an armed civilian outside of the church.
The shooter, who was found dead in neighboring Guadalupe County, has been identified as Devin Kelley, 26, a former Air Force member.

Yea, I saw that #fakenews too. This is a problem, especially since the government has adopted a policy of holding a shooter's ID for a couple of hours while they scrub every bit of his online presence they can find, leaving an information vacuum that #fakenews is all too happy to fill up. But the evidence is actually slowly pointing toward him being a SJW and perhaps even Antifa, just wouldn't be prudent to report it yet. As usual the 48 hour rule is wise policy. Or in the case of the Vegas shooter 48 days might not be enough.... or in the case of JFK it was more than 48 years.
Then there was the massive lulz when 4chan managed to troll the #fakenews boss monster, CNN, into reporting the shooter as Sam Hyde. Long running gag of faking everything as the responsibility of Hyde, they are still slapping themselves on the back for pulling it off.

Do we blame CNN for that, or Texas Congressman Vicente Gonzalez who said it on CNN?

It drives me mad how stuff just gets disappeared when it doesn't fit the narrative.
FWIW, here is a discussion involving somebody who knew him, and yeah it's Antifa or at least a copycat admirer associate.

By all means, do so. The environment doesn't need to sustain scums like us.
